According to the Android P beta 2 code, a programming line confirms that Google might also introduce a dock, which is expected to support wireless charging. Going by the industry standards, Google is expected to implement a Qi technology-based wireless charging. Additionally, the leak also confirms that the Pixel 3 and the Pixel 3 XL will have "Active Edge" feature, which can be used to trigger functions like opening Google Assistant and other applications.

As we have already learned that, the Pixel 3 and the Pixel 3 XL will have a glass back panel, which is also a necessary feature for a smartphone to support wireless charging.
